All About Atoms
Do you know what a Quark is? You can find out at this website. "All about atoms" is student-centred allowing interactive involvement of learners. A small program helps students learn the parts of an atom and some fun facts. The site also contains classroom resources such as other interactive learning tools, videos, and games. These games are classroom ready and available to download or can be played on-line. Some games include "element BINGO" and "element math game". |

Chemicool Periodic Table
Are you looking for a web site that will compliment your element study? If you answered yes, then this is the web site for you! This inventive web site allows the viewer to enter an element‚s name or symbol into the search engine, and a brief history and many elemental factors are revealed. Some include atomic numbers, radii, conductivity, electronegativity, and many more. Other are more specific such as oxidation states, energies, appearances and abundance. Finding out further information about each element is done by clicking on the line to the Encyclopedia Britannica web page for that element. This web site can be a great starting place for your students to research an element of interest. Check it out! |

Chemistry For Kids
Explore the exciting world of chemistry! With a large library of information, learners can access topics relating to astronomy, biology, chemistry, geography, or physics. The site is student-centered and user-friendly. It expresses science in colloquial English and uses "catchy" illustrations. With all of the jokes, cartoons, and fun, students will hardly remember they are learning science! This site is appropriate for grade 9-12 students targeting every unit and more. The next time you struggle for a clever way to express science in "kid-terms", check out chem4kids! |

Chemistry Webercises Directory
This is an index site that panders only to Chemistry. There are some interesting articles on the use of computers in chemistry at this site. |

ChemTutor
Pretty is not Their aim, but there is a lot of good information here. According to the site, ChemTutor can be a course of study for independent students, a resource for chemistry teachers, a review, or a tutoring program for students taking high school or basic college chemistry. |

Comic Books Periodic Table
A periodic table in a wacky format. A real time waster, but interesting to see how comics have been using elements. |

Flinn Chemicals
A commercial site developed by Flinn Chemicals. Has great activities and demonstrations that you can use in biology or chemistry classes. Lab activities include full write ups with everything including materials, instructions and pre and post lab questions. Also, has information on safety and computer technology. |

Fun Science Experiments for Children to Try at Home
With access to school limited by the coronavirus lockdown restrictions, children need lots of things to do at home. While there’s important ‘school stuff’ they still need to learn, there’s surely room for some fun too! So why not combine fun and education and try out our 15 Fun Science experiments? |

Molecule of the Month!!
This site entitled molecule of the Month adds new information about a different molecule each month. Some of the information may be over student's understanding, but it is well worth having them look into the page to see what they find! There is an amazing range of molecules discussed, from aspartame to various herbs and pharmaceuticals. A molecule of the month assignment would be a great activity, or you could use it just to bring chemistry into reality! |
|||
Periodic Table of Elements
Another periodic table, but with the added feature that when you click on an element a description of the element is given. |

Quia: Where Learning Takes You
Quia is a fun site where students can wrap-up the theory they have learned in various subjects. The chemistry topics covered are quite simple, covering the periodic table, bonding, acids and bases, nomenclature, ions, molecules and compounds. Although acids and bases are found in the Chemistry 30 curriculum, most of the activities are pertinent to Chemistry 20. The site is completely student-centred. Most topics have Matching, Concentration, Flash Card and Word Search games. However, there is a version of "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" for the pH and pOH scales, whereas the pH scale is also covered by a low to high ordering activity. |

A Science Odyssey
A Science Odyssey is a great site chock full of science history. It aims to present science as a necessary facet of our everyday world. You are able to check out the great discoveries of the 20th century, plus who made them. The links are student oriented, and in comic book style. The site is not limited to students, however, and contains a link to teacher resources! |

WebElements
This site is an on-line periodic table. It comes in two versions, the Scholar Edition for students at universities and schools and the Professional Edition. Each version has a main page where consisting of a periodic table. When one clicks on an element, information about that element appears on a separate page. The Scholar Edition has the following information: name of the element, the symbol, the atomic number, the atomic weight, the period and group in periodic table that the element belongs to, the group name, the block in periodic table, and a brief description of the element. Also, there is information on the history of the element, how the element may be isolated, compounds that the element forms, ways that the element is used, physical, nuclear and electronic data, the structure of the element (including pictures of crystal structures), and biological and geological data of the element. The Professional Edition has much more information than the Scholar Edition such as reactions with hydrogen, bond enthalpies,radii in compounds, lattice energies, reduction potentials, electronic configuration, ionization energies, and much more. |
